WHO WE ARE

We are the Democratic Party of the 34th Legislative District. We work to elect Democrats, uphold Democratic values, and support Democrats in Seattle, White Center, Burien, Vashon/Maury Island and beyond.

We are our elected officials. We are our candidates. We are the activists who knock on doors in neighborhoods from Alki to Tahlequah and the voters who make their voices heard each election. We are all volunteers. We are your neighbors. We are your co-workers. We are your friends. We stand up for the marginalized and the voiceless among us. We join arms with allies to fight against injustice and fight for equity. We are engaged in our communities and we are committed to a brighter future for all of us.

We believe in inclusion, that unity is better than division, that we are stronger and better when everyone has an equal shot at living up to their potential. We believe diversity is a source of strength and that inequality is a threat to democracy itself. We believe it’s important to stand up to tyrants and bullies. We believe in the power of individuals working together to make great progress against incredible odds. We believe in you.

Join us in the fight of our lives. It might not be easy, but it will be rewarding. And we will win.

Fellow Democrats, With the primary season behind us, this month we turn our attention to the State of the 34th. How are we doing? What are we doing well? Where can we improve? Where do we need more help? We’ll hear from each of our committees, as well as get a legislative report from Representatives Eileen Cody and Joe Fitzgibbon (and possibly Senator Sharon Nelson) and congressional report from Congresswoman Jayapal’s office.
